Administrative Defense Logistics Management Standards (DLMS) 

Change (ADC) 1451, Administrative Update to DLM Volume 2, 

Appendix 7.16 Status Codes Adding X12 Reference to DLMS 870S 

Supply Status – MFR 

1. ORIGINATING SERVICE/AGENCY AND POC INFORMATION: Defense Enterprise 

Data Standards Office (DEDSO), Rafael Gonzalez, email: Rafael.Gonzalez@dla.mil. 

2. REASON FOR CHANGE:

a. Bottom Line Up-Front: 

 (1) This administrative change will update the DLM 4000.25 Volume 2 Appendix 

7.16 Supply Status Codes with the DLMS 870S Supply Status transaction X12 position and 

legacy record position of the status codes used to support stakeholders and programmer 

requirements.

 (2) This change has no impact on standard business processes, data standards, or 

systems. 

b. Background: The Defense Enterprise Data Standards Office (DEDSO) identified 

missing information in DLM 4000.25 Volume 2 Appendix 7.16 Status Codes that may confuse 

DoD components during the implementation of this appendix. Currently appendix 7.16 doesn’t 

explain the appropriate legacy or X12 reference where the code can be used. Consequently, 

DESDO submitted this memorandum for record to ensure the appendix provides clear 

instructions to all Components. 

3. CHANGE IN DETAIL: 

a. Defense Logistics Manual (DLM) 4000.25: This change updates DLM 4000.25 

Volume 2, Appendix 7.16 Status Codes and incorporates the legacy record position as well as the 

X12 reference and segment qualifier as shown in the enclosure. 

b. Implementation Conventions (IC): No impact. 

c. Data Elements: No Impact.
